    starting the kubota 1100 in cold weather

    Fellow Montanan here. I know it's never to be done but what I do when it's very cold here, I'll spray just a little bit of ether into the drain port of the air filter housing. Not a lot, just a ~1 second squirt. Seems to work every time. I do have a block heater. The only time I do the ether...

    2008 Kubota RTV shift issue

    Here's a little trick I learned for my rig. I believe it's an 06'. When I want to shift I let off of the throttle and let it come to a stop. With the HST you will get a quick moment where the trans is unloaded. It happens when you have just stopped and you're getting that slight recoil effect...

    2017 Kubota RTV-X900 a lot of white smoke out the exhaust and loud knocking

    I had a partially blocked injector in my backhoes engine (Perkins 1004-4T). While driving on my driveway up an incline I noticed more black exhaust soot than normal. I normally have BT stereo headphones on when I'm out plowing. So I didn't hear any engine noises then. A short time later I was...

    Truck bed lining my rtv 1100 doors.

    That was one of the reasons. I ordered a tint card pack from them so I could get just the color I wanted. The cab was originally orange, a few of us here purchased them from a dealer in Canada. I had previously used the Monstaliner product in the bed of my Dodge Ram years before and had good...

    6" of snow and 40 mph wind for 1 1/2 days

    These RTV's coupled with a snow blower are really sweet machines! We're supposed to get hit again with snow starting tonight. Haven't had the RTV out blowing yet, or last year for that matter. Use my 4 wheel drive backhoe (with a cab & heater) mostly. If we get enough I'll bust out the blower...

    The Beast

    I'll second @avantiguy . I've got the same configuration (RTV900, Curtis cab) and the built-in stereo is pretty weak. I use bluetooth headphones and they work great.

    Arg not my day, -20f and my x1100c

    My old 900 doesn't like it much below 10F. So I added the OEM block heater. Works well when used. I also do something that is definitely not recommended but seems to work for me. I squirt a very small amount of ether into the air filter housing. Works everytime (I use this method very infrequently).

    snow blower

    This is the winch I have. Can't offer any install tips for the 1100 as I only have experience with the 900's. https://www.amazon.com/VIPER-Midnight-3000lb-Winch-Synthetic/dp/B06XVZRJ6Y

    snow blower

    I run a Bercomac snowblower on my 900 RTV. It uses a twin cylinder Honda engine for power. Works very well. I want to say it cost ~$7,000 4 or so years ago.

    Kuboto RTV-X Snowblower Capability

    I use a Bercomac snow blower with my RTV 900. My shop building has three 14' x 14' roll up doors on one side. The roof slopes down to the doors so from time to time I get a rather large pile of snow in front of the doors. The snow blower can clear these piles sometimes. If it freezes forget...

    Finally got around to coating the orange cab with a DIY bed liner material *(Monstaliner). Pleased with the outcome. * No affiliation with this company beyond being a thrice satisfied customer.

    Kubota RTV 900 stops abruptly

    Agree here with @geohorn , once you get used to it you'll learn to like it. I sure do.

    Youtube on RTV power increase

    While I’m always open to new information, everything I’ve learned in the last 25~ years of diesel ownership tells me otherwise. I’ll list what I believe to be true. Diesel engines run cooler in a lean air/fuel condition. Diesel engines run hotter in a rich air/fuel condition. Adding more fuel...

    Youtube on RTV power increase

    You can melt a diesel engine by dumping in too much fuel. As @10-e-c-dirt said, get a pyrometer so you can monitor exhaust temps.

    cold starting

    I’m a little south of Kalispell, located in the Swan Valley (Condon). Truly a paradise! Here’s a pic of the view looking S/E from my property.

    cold starting

    BC, no sealant at all. You just have to make sure you are square to the engine when you drive it in.
